The AP No. 9 Jayhawks (23-6 SU, 15-13 ATS) are 12-4 in the Big 12, 1.5 games ahead of Iowa State and Oklahoma with two games remaining. They want to take care of business on Tuesday as they finish the regular season at Oklahoma on Saturday.

Coach Bill Self saw his guys get a much-needed win last Saturday, 69-64 over Texas as 7.5-point home favorites. Freshman forward, Cliff Alexander (7.1 PPG, 5.3 RPG) sat out due to eligibility issues and is questionable for this game.

Rockets at Hawks, Wizards at Bulls

While the Hawks have lost just four games since the New Year, they've become a less-than-reliable bet. That's what happens when the point spreads a team is asked to cover keep growing. Tonight, Atlanta hosts the Rockets, who'll be without James Harden and Dwight Howard (7:30 p.m. ET, NBA-TV).

The Rockets (41-18 SU, 34-25 ATS) are coming off a big, nationally-televised win over the Cavaliers on Sunday, when things got chippy between Harden and LeBron James. Harden, who is putting up astronomical numbers this season and is squarely in the MVP discussion, kicked James in the groin in the third quarter and has been suspended for tonight's game in Atlanta. Houston, of course, is already without star center Dwight Howard.

Atlanta (47-12 SU, 38-21 ATS) rolls in on a four-game winning streak, and while they're still on top of the league's ATS standings, they've been middling from a betting perspective for over a month now. Over their last 15 games, they are 6-8-1 against the spread.

Win a spot in Las Vegas' most prestigious handicapping contest

LAS VEGAS -- The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has unveiled a SuperContest Satellite Series that gives bettors from all reaches of the U.S. a chance at free entry into the most prestigious sports handicapping contest in the world.

Beginning March 2, you are invited to download the Gamblino app and ready yourself for the NCAA Tournament, where you can apply your handicapping and money management skills to compete against fellow sports bettors.

The winner of the satellite event earns a seat at the 2015 SuperContest, which is worth $1,500. The winner also gains immediate respect among the national sports betting community.

The “March to the Championship” SuperContest Satellite – tied to the NCAA Tournament – is the first of four. So a total of four SuperContest entries are up for grabs. There will also be Satellite contests for the NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs and the first half of baseball season. Winners also get a two-night stay at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook & Resort during the 2015 SuperContest Weekend (see more details in the document below).

Atlanta race offers window into rest of season

The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook did some major shuffling of its odds to win the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup title following the Atlanta race on Sunday, the first of 11 on 1.5-mile tracks this season. Because 1.5-mile tracks dominate the series, coupled with NASCAR's new rules package, Atlanta gave the SuperBook a glimpse of what to expect the rest of the season. Recent history shows drivers who perform well on the 1.5s have a huge edge in winning the season championship.

"It's just one race, but we were able to get a better feel for how drivers might perform because of the testing Thursday, then the practices and race itself," said SuperBook manager Ed Salmons.

Jimmie Johnson remains the 9-to-2 favorite in his quest to win a record-tying seventh Sprint Cup title. After his Atlanta win on Sunday, Johnson is one of four drivers to finish in the top-5 of the first two races this season.

"I was kind of surprised Johnson won because he wasn't particularly great in Atlanta testing or practice," said Salmons.
